What is Your Vore Writing Process?

[VorishHorish]

How do you write your Vore stories, do you have a formula or general rules you follow while making the stories?

[TheKawaiiCommie]

You write stories... with vore. There's not a lot of specific advice that relates to fetish writing but a few general guidelines are:

1. Have a good vocabulary at the ready. Nothing makes boring fetish stories like repetitive language. Learn to describe things you inevitably will describe over and over in different and interesting ways.
2. Avoid cliche. Nothing creates a more sure eyeroll than formulaic dialogue or story tropes. "Porn dialogue" especially is extremely boring.
3. Don't base your story around something porn-y, focus on making an interesting story and not on fulfilling a certain market. It should not try suspension of disbelief more than necessary, considering vore itself is already pretty ridiculous.
4. Don't skip a satisfying set-up or conclusion to rush into "the good stuff." This is still a story and good pacing makes it more enjoyable.
5. Overly descriptive/pedantic writing ruins the mood. Don't lean on adjectives and especially adverbs too hard, it'll seem amateurish. Likewise, nobody cares about the dry mechanics of any intimate act... it's the emotion, not the minutia.
6. Don't be pretentious. People just want a nice narrative with something they can wank to. It's not rocket science. Write what you want to see, and other people will probably end up enjoying it. Post even if you feel like it's bad, you're often your own harshest critic. Write something every day even if only a little, nobody ever got good at a skill by not practicing and asking for feedback.
7. Lastly, avoid degrading or disgusting terminology related to sex and people's bodies. This is just common sense... don't be an asshole to some people to get other people off.

That's all I can really think of at the moment, good luck!

I've recently started writing my stories out of order. I have an outline written down, and then I write the scenes I'm most excited to write first, and work my way back to the ones I'm least excited about.

[ReptileKing23]

I visualize a scenario then put it into words, that's the long and short of it.

Here's the best advice I can give ya; You cannot and WILL NOT please everyone, so don't try, write what ya wanna write!

[BadlyDrawnDedede]

Well, there's a couple things I tell everyone that asks for this sort of advice:

1) Ideas come from everywhere! A can of sparkling water, the lyrics to a song, or even a silly term like a "blind date" are all potential ideas for stories! Whenever an idea pops into your head, write a little note down as soon as possible so it doesn't float away. Before you even start to write on the subject, I recommend you let the concept sit in the back of your head and ferment. Doing this will allow you to think of additional details, references, and plot points that will make the story better. When you feel everything has come together, it's time to write!

2) Set up, set up, and set up. Writing a vore story without any context or background is like telling the punch line to a joke without anything else. Sure, you may get a few laughs, but the overall impact will be much stronger if you give everything beforehand that leads up to the ending. Same with vore. I'm not saying you have to write a ten-page long dialogue explaining some crazy series of events, but a little consideration in introducing characters and the situation at hand goes a long way.

3) A thesaurus is the writer's equivalent to the Holy Bible. If you feel that you're using a certain word too much, then take a peek and see if you can find any other words that have the same meaning. Mixing the terms you use up not only makes the story sound better overall, but also puts a bit more detail into the action as well.

4) Please, for the love of God, don't introduce vore into the story by saying "Character A discovers what vore is and says to character B that they want to try it" or something along those lines. It's the most lazy and boring way to incorporate the kink into the story. Use one something more reasonable and original to justify someone being eaten, even if it's not the most creative thing in the world.

5) Believe in yourself! Trying to write a perfect story for the first time is like trying to take an SAT in kindergarten. You'll naturally refine and get better in your craft as you write more and more. That said, don't burn yourself out. There's nothing wrong with needing to step back from a story and take a breather for a moment, or even start a new project. Just don't be like me where you've got about open five stories that need to be finished! ;D

[AeriaGloris]

I write shorthand notes of the setting, key moments and character motivations. I'm a discovery writer that writes in .txt (almost no planning / format). The actual Vore is always spontaneously written and I make sure it's done in one session.

I've recently started writing my stories out of order. I have an outline written down, and then I write the scenes I'm most excited to write first, and work my way back to the ones I'm least excited about.

I fear doing that will give me less incentive to get through the more boring parts of writing. I just keep all my writing 80% finished in case I have to revise them later.

[VoraciousPreyator]

I kind of just write and hope. Not exactly the best thing to do but I don't plan out much at all.

[Ixtili]

Snatches of repetitive paragraphs that I try to stitch into stories. It's quite a slow, arduous and impractical process. Would not recommend.

[ItsSongxing]

Well, in terms of the actual writing process, I like to open up Cold Turkey Writer and get some music going. I'm very easily distracted, and Cold Turkey will shut out everything else. Your mileage may vary, of course; you might just be able to focus with pure willpower. I personally recommend music that's either instrumental, or in a language you don't understand; if your brain latches onto the lyrics too much, you'll find it harder to think of words.

In terms of my actual process, I usually type out a short, 2-3 paragraph synopsis first. Maybe get a couple major plot beats written down, but nothing overly specific. Then, I just write from the start, to the end; usually in chunks a day. I'm much more of a discovery writer than architect, since despite the synopsis, there's still a strong chance that maybe I've written something that leads to a different chain of events than what I'd written in the synopsis, or I get an idea that I think is better. It just serves as a fair reminder for what the story is trying to do, more than anything.

Thank you for the advice, I really appreciate it

I'm no pro, but my basic process is like this. I'll have a few flashes of inspiration, maybe some ideas for a scenario. I'll mull it over for a while, think of ways to make it into a good story. When I've got the gist of it, I'll storyboard a basic scetch of a story, in bullet form. From there I build the full story.

That said, I did that for my most recent story, but it didn't go as smooth as usual. It's supposed to be a reunion of classmates who hadn't seen each other for like 10 years. Vore ensues after flirty drinks at a pub. But the rough draft just doesn't feel right. I am considering rewriting to make it like a babysitter from way back meetings in a hotel bar randomly, milf type thing instead.

[ElPortero]

Every story starts out as a document that contains notes on characters, scenes, or any other content that needs to either stay consistent throughout the story or is an idea or plot point that needs to be (or that I want to) hit. This usually isn't so formal as an outline, but every so often a commission is specific enough that there's a sort of timeline that I'm working with. Otherwise, I try to leave as much "room to dream" as possible (a David Lynch philosophy).

From there, I just let it roll. I try to let the story and characters surprise me, because if I'm surprised by what happens, then hopefully the reader will be too. But I'm doing all this writing a couple of blank lines above the notes I mentioned before, so my reference material is always close at hand, and I'll always know what the next plot point I need to hit is, if any. It helps me simultaneously connect the dots while still letting the story take itself where it wants to go. As each point is incorporated into the story, I delete it, so the next one comes up to the top. This way, I don't forget anything that MUST be in the story.

Sometimes an idea comes to me that may or may not fit into the story. I'll try to work towards it, but it doesn't always end up panning out. Anything that's left at the end (i.e., was unused) will often go into a general document I keep with ideas that might spark something in the future.

Lastly, the best piece of advice I can give is to read your stories aloud to yourself. It's one of the best ways to root out clunky language.

[VorishHorish]

BadlyDrawnDedede, Thank you to.

[Matteo42]

I usually start off with an idea, a scene I imagine in my head. I begin working on how I could get the characters in that situation, and once I find that, make the beginning context. After that, I just write, scene after scene, adding story elements, details, whatever I feel like wherever I feel like.

There's no ultimate all-working guide that you can follow. Just try stuff out that people recommend (like this one, for example) and see what works for you! You'll develop your own style after writing a few things [fyi, this isn't my first eka's account. The others have been deleted, so you can't read those few first attempts I made, because JEEZ they were awful xD. But, that's how I eventually came to this way of working; trial and error! ]

A long while ago I and Jurodan wrote up something on this topic.

https://aryion.com/g4/view/129333

You can see we looked through quite a bit.

I do need to do another one of these at some point, I have learned so much since this was published.

As for my method? Depends, if it's one of my stories, and it's a one shot (meaning one story, no continuations) I tend to just free flow and write what happens organically. If it is something like a commission or a multi part story of my own, I build a loose structure to ensure I hit plot points that make sense. Otherwise I just write.. That's the best advice, get it on paper.

[ArcaneSigil]

My formula is think about story, write some of story, forget I was writing story, come back months later and realize I had something good, start over from scratch because I'm dumb.

[Tassie]

I don't know if I have a real 'formula', but there's some things that always seem to happen.

Usually some idea pops into my head for whatever reason, be it something I see, or something I feel or something I imagine the wrong way and then stretch it into a vorish setting.
If the idea really sticks, then it just plays over and over in my head until I imagine how it could happen.
Next, make some notes and maybe even something resembling an outline as a rough draft.
Finally, I screw up everything by trying to write it, typically by turning it into a novel about sad, tragic characters, created to fail; concept and result rarely resemble each other. Sometimes it turns out better than that probably sounds, and occasionally people like the ideas.

I know I'm not so great, but there are so many talented, creative and giving people here, I feel bad because I can't give back more to everyone.

[SwallowMe]

The act or the scenario that leads to the act of vore, it just randomly pops into my head, I visualize it happening in my head and who is involved. If I then decide to write it down\make a story, I just start at the beginning and go. I don't really plan, I just think how would this start, then I write. I make plans in my head along the way on how to connect and lead up to the event. When the plan enters my mind, I don't write it down off to the side or anything to remember, if I forget that plan along the way, something new will pop up in my head to take its place.

Since such stuff just randomly pops into my head, think of it like someone handing you a writing prompt in a writing class or some such situation.

As an example I'll use a story I wrote a few years ago in one sitting.
Prompt\or the thought popped into my head: A teenage boy getting caught trying to peep on and video tape a lovely woman twice his age, by sneaking into the the changing room next door and hiding and holding a camera as she changes. She catches him gives him what he desires, but as these things go gets something as payment in return.

https://aryion.com/g4/view/417685

For the most part since then, I really haven't planned much when writing, I just let what flows out of my mind hit the screen, and edit and tweak it as I go.

[Oniric]

Just like I write everything else:

1. Stare at a blank page for hours.
2. Write a sentence.
3. Cry a lot.
4. Repeat 2 and 3 as many times as necessary.
5. Profit?

For real though, I don't really have a strict "formula", I just get an idea and start writing it. Sometimes I write a very rough outline before starting on the story proper so I know where to go, but I often improvise while I'm writing and I'm not afraid to change anything that doesn't work. I think the most important thing for me is deciding on a "theme" or a specific mood that I want the story to convey and make sure that it doesn't stray away from that.

I guess one "rule" for me when writing porn is that if I'm constantly getting aroused by my own story, I'm doing it right, but that doesn't necessarily apply to everybody.

[wanderingpuffle]

This thread has been extremely helpful for me, as someone looking to write their first stories in this genre.

I don't have vore-specific advice, but when I write short stories, I generally pick a central 'point' I want to hit in the story and build around it to get there and then to come back from it.

It's been a while since I finished something though, and I've been having trouble hitting the beats in the middle...
